This new computer restarts repeatedly during gameplay.
A few days ago I purchased a gaming rig and initially expected a straightforward "Build and play" experience. However, unexpected issues arose. Below are my specifications and the issue details:
Processor: i5 4690k @ 3.5 ghz
Motherboard: OC ASUS STRIX 970
Power Supply: 500w EVGA 80+
Storage: 1 TB 7200RPM HDD
Case: Corsair 100R Case
Cooler: GIGABYTE B85M-DS3H-A MB
Thermal Paste: CRYORIG H7
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury 1866 (white) 8GB RAM (dual channel?)
Monitor: Acer 144hz 1ms 1080p TN 24" display
The problem is that during gameplay, despite strong performance, my PC frequently restarts within a minute. I’m wondering if there’s a solution without replacing any components or if I need to invest more in upgrades.
It could be a driver, PSU, GPU, motherboard or CPU. You'll need to perform some troubleshooting first. I recommend uninstalling the graphics driver using Display Driver Uninstaller and then reinstalling the newest driver. If that doesn't resolve the issue, try testing another PSU in your system.
